| Can Aron Gunnarsson beat France? |
Aaron in Hebrew means lofty, exalted, high mountain. Aaron was
Moses' older brother and first high priest of the
Israelites. He's remembered for the "miraculous blossoming of his staff or rod."
Aron Einar Malmquist Gunnarsson is a 27-year-old
Icelandic professional soccer player who plays for
Welsh club
Cardiff City. He's also captaining his homeland's team against hosting France in the
quarterfinals of Euro 2016 later today.
This after
upsetting England the week of
Brexit.
Getur hann gert það?
Of course he's got some help, particularly from
Gylfi Sigurðsson, another Icelandic soccer star of considerable repute, known for his laser precision shots from out-of-nowhere. Pundits point to the soft play of France so far and the twin talents of these two to say "anything's possible".
Then we have the "
Viking Warriors" and their Viking chants invoking
Norse gods. What a team is this Iceland.
I believe they've gone
berserk.
